Extension of the Late Holocene Sea-Level Record In North Carolina, USA
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Future sea-level rise will dramatically affect coastal landscapes and populations. The coast of North Carolina (USA) is particularly vulnerable to sea-level rise because its low-lying coastal plain is expansive, has a low ...
SALINITY DISTRIBUTION IN A CHANNELIZED WETLAND AT EMILY AND RICHARDSON PREYER BUCKRIDGE COASTAL RESERVE, TYRRELL COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The Emily and Richardson Preyer Buckridge Coastal Reserve is a low-lying, peatland-dominated freshwater wetland located in the southern Albemarle Estuarine System. The construction of an extensive canal network that ...
Stratigraphy and Petroleum Geology of the Blue Monday Sandstone, Central West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The Upper Mississippian Blue Monday sandstone is a primarily gas producing unit found in several central West Virginia gas fields. The purpose of this study was to characterize the stratigraphy and petroleum geology as ...
QUANTITATIVE COMPARISON OF 2D POROSITY AND PORE GEOMETRY BETWEEN THE UPPER CASTLE HAYNE AQUIFER, NORTH CAROLINA, AND THE BISCAYNE AQUIFER, FLORIDA, USING IMAGE AND GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Karst aquifers are vital sources of groundwater for domestic and industrial use in many parts of the world. To sustain rising population throughout the southeastern United States, karst aquifers are increasingly exploited ...
A comparison of watershed nitrogen loading and watershed nitrogen exports from on-site wastewater treatment systems and centralized sewer systems in the North Carolina Coastal Plain
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Elevated nitrogen (N) concentrations in groundwater may cause adverse effects to adjacent surface water bodies. In North Carolina, half of the residences use on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS), yet they are typically ...
Geophysical Detection of On-site Wastewater Plumes in the North Carolina Coastal Plain, USA
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Nonpoint source pollution (NPS) continues to be the leading cause of water quality degradation in the United States. On-site wastewater systems (OWS) contribute to NPS; however, due to the range of system designs and ...
Foraminifera as indicators of hypoxia off Southwest Pass, Mississippi Delta, Gulf of Mexico?
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The continental shelf west of the Mississippi River Delta (the Louisiana Bight) experiences seasonal hypoxia that has been increasing in frequency since the second half of the 20th century due to anthropogenic influence. ...
EMPLACEMENT AND GROWTH OF LARGE COMPLEX INTRUSIONS IN THE SHALLOW CRUST, HENRY MOUNTAINS, UTAH
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Details of magma migration paths in the shallow crust are poorly understood, in part because there are few locations with well-preserved contacts of igneous intrusions and surrounding host rock. The exposures in the Henry ...
Holocene Climate and Carbon Sequestration via Black Carbon Burial in Sediments
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Fire, a global process that depends on climate, volcanic activity, vegetation and human practices is not constant through time and varies at decadal, centennial and millennial time-scales. Wildfires that result in burning ...
Foraminiferal and Geochemical Evidence of Environmental Change in Response to Aquaculture in the Setiu Estuarine-Lagoonal System, Terengganu, Malaysia
(East Carolina University, 2013)
In many coastal communities, aquaculture is an important part of the local economy, though fish and shrimp farms may threaten habitats in these coastal systems. Aquaculture was introduced to the Setiu estuarine-lagoonal ...
